I binged on the new season yesterday, and yes a few episodes just aren't that good, but that doesnt last long. Once you get to episode 5'ish, the rest of the episodes in the season are pure comedy gold! I actually found myself laughing out loud.

OMG YES

I… I'm actually kind of disgusted with Olivia Pope and Fitz at this point. I get that everyone may not like Mellie, but goddamn, what they did to her tonight was just needlessly cruel. Is the show trying to convince us that the married woman is in the wrong for wanting to save her marriage, to a man she appears to

Castiel is the Daniel Grayson of this show. Forever being manipulated by someone else, and always making stupid, stupid decisions when he's not.

Is anybody else upset that they DIDNT close the gates to Hell? I mean, what the hell!? They dragged on this often boring plot (with an awesome premise) all season long, only to specifically not do the thing they've been trying to do the whole damn time. I just… I don't even…

C MINUS!? This was an AWESOME episode! What the hell AV club!

Honestly, any time a woman is in a position of power and she's upfront about it, we always seem to feel she's getting "arrogant" or "uppity". Dany is the rightful ruler of Westeros, and she's on a well inspired side mission to free enslaved people.

The Theon sex-then-torture scenes just really, REALLY re-affirmed my homosexuality.

Ok, since no one else has said anything about it yet: Arya and Melissandre comment about the eyes. It wasn't vague or random. If you listen carefully to Melissandre's exact words, she straight up says that Arya will "close those eyes forever". I'm pretty sure that is an indication that Arya will be assassinating the

Look, you must have missed a few of the last episodes where they gave more of Mellie's backstory, and she had those monologues. She was basically sold to Fitz by her father, and she is just doing the best she can at what, to her, seems like her only path in life. She has no maternal instinct, yes, but she's aware of

Mellie is really that awesome. In the earlier episodes, she just had a bit of mean-girls attitude, but if you look at her actions and goals, they're always in the service of what is best for her husband, or what he wants. I didn't like her that much at first either, but the more they showed us about her, and how much

Mellie is awesome, Fitz is an ass. That man has a wife, who not only dedicates herself to his career and ambitions, but also jumps at the chances to fix most of his screw-ups. Her only wish? That her husband not cheat on her. Yet, for some reason, Fitz (and most of the other characters too), treat Mellie like she is
